Re: HBO
Yes he does, it's bleak and worth watching - the town was left to it's own devices and many couldn't find a different role, drink and drugs filled the gap.Bleak wrote:Lost lives in Lowell. Just reading micky wards book and this is mentioned. Does Dicky Ecklund feature a lot in the documentary?

Got it on You Tube,
how did the ref stand up to that punch, good wack he took haha
Re: HBO
Also not far from Easterhoose myself mate. Only 2 or 3 miles away from me. Glasgow aint as bad as people like to make out as I'm sure you may agree, maybe bad for people unfamiliar with it who could easily stray into rougher areas but thats the same for outsiders in any unfamiliar territory. Everywhere is the same for me, there are good bits and bad bits a stones throw away from each other no matter where you are and the safety comes from the local knowledge of knowing where to go and where to avoid.ThereByTheGrace wrote:I don't live far from Easterhoose.

Easterhouse aint anywhere near as bad as it used to be but I wouldn't recommend it for a picnic.
